I swear it’s a fight to get myself to do anything. “Get out of bed” “put on clothes, and remember that includes underwear and deodorant” “let’s make you some food, and no a handful of candy doesn’t count” “oops we dropped food all over the floor. It’s okay to be upset, but we still need to clean it up” “do this do that do-” I’m exhausted having to gentle parent myself because self flagellation doesn’t work and nothing else does either. Anyone else?

Between that and a teenager! Haha.
welcome to life.
Ever seen those little pill saves that are labeled by day with 3 compartments? That is what it takes sometimes, even for older people.
Even as an adult it takes a lot of work to function every day. Some of it becomes a built in routine, some takes constant work.
You just have to hang in there and deal with it. Wait till you are 50+ and realize you put your shirt on inside out at the end of the work day. Shit happens.
What you are describing sounds exactly what I deal with – and I have ADHD.
